Personal comments	Had Ablation in November 2002, unable to complete due to bleeding. Had Cardiac Tamponade and pericarditis post ablation. I was in the hospital for several days and had constant arrythmias for weeks following the ablation. I am going to have a repeat as this is my hope to be free of Atrial Fib. I am a nurse and even with my complications I do recommend the Ablation. At least now I convert out of the A Fib and previously I had to have a cardioversion to convert. My EP feels confident that I will have success with the repeat. I do have an enlarged left atrium that was noted this year and had not been noted previously.
